Stella Dallas (rubystevens)

i can't deny there are beautiful scenes in it but damn, asia's mom is annoying. i kept waiting for her to die. on the whole, i prefer suspiria

becker's final film and it's fantastic. every bit as good and a great counterpoint to bresson's masterpiece, a man escaped. completely nerve wracking

my favorite movie, a mob epic and scorsese's masterpiece

the quintessential noir, a style that's had a huge influence on everyone from scorsese and tarantino to the coen brothers and david lynch, not to mention french new wave. robert mitchum gives his most perfect lethargic and world-weary performance
